WASHINGTON (ANP/RTR) - De hackersgroep ShinyHunters zegt ingebroken te hebben in de systemen van de FBI en daarbij gegevens van personeel buitgemaakt te hebben. De claim staat op een website van de organisatie op het dark web.
De groep plaatste onder meer een screenshot online van de vacaturepagina van de FBI, waarop te zien zou zijn dat de groep daar zelf teksten aan had toegevoegd. Op de pagina staat inmiddels een waarschuwing dat sommige FBI-systemen tijdelijk niet werken.
ShinyHunters deelde ook wat gegevens die buitgemaakt zouden zijn. De groep claimt informatie te hebben over vrijwel alle FBI-medewerkers en mensen die daar gesolliciteerd hebben. Journalisten hebben die gegevens vooralsnog nauwelijks kunnen verifiëren.
ShinyHunters zegt dat de vermeende hack een reactie is op een waarschuwing die de FBI in mei uitdeed. Daarbij werd aangeraden om ShinyHunters geen losgeld te betalen. De groep is in Nederland vooral bekend van een hack bij Odido, die ruim 6 miljoen klanten trof.
NEW YORK (ANP) - De aandelenbeurzen in New York zijn dinsdag met gemengde uitslagen de handelsdag uitgegaan. Techgraadmeter Nasdaq bereikte een nieuw recordniveau, terwijl beleggers tegelijkertijd de ontwikkelingen tussen de Verenigde Staten en Iran scherp in de gaten hielden.
De Dow Jones-index eindigde 0,4 procent lager op 51.863,69 punten. De brede S&P 500 bleef nagenoeg onveranderd op 7764,64 punten. Techgraadmeter Nasdaq zette de opmars voort en noteerde bij het slot 0,5 procent hoger op een recordstand van 27.244,28 punten. De Nasdaq steeg maandag al ruim 2 procent, dankzij sterke koerswinsten van chipbedrijven en techbedrijven.
De olieprijzen gingen, na schommelingen gedurende de dag, omlaag door de hoop op diplomatieke inspanningen om een einde te maken aan de Iranoorlog en de energiestromen door de Straat van Hormuz te herstellen. Amerikaanse functionarissen hebben gesproken met een afvaardiging van Iran, zei Donald Trump. Die ontmoeting duurde drie uur en het overleg zou "heel goed" zijn verlopen, aldus de Amerikaanse president.
A thoughtful review of Nolan’s The Odyssey, comparing it to the original Planet of the Apes movies. “I was very influenced by seeing The Planet of the Apes when I was a kid. We had the Statue of Liberty half destroyed. That idea of a fallen monument.”
The newest judge on the culinary competition is a soothing presence who is the ideal complement to Paul Hollywood. Long may the show continue with her on it
There’s a very good argument to be made for requiring a national referendum on whether presenters of shows that are part of our cultural identity should be allowed to leave, followed by – if necessary – a vote on who should replace them. At the very least, this would avoid the parlous state of affairs we face right now: at the very moment the public is grappling with the new-look Strictly Come Dancing (Tess and Claudia replaced by Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe, three whole different people!) we are asked to cope with a change to the order of the tented universe too.
For The Great British Bake Off lineup has replaced Prue Leith (who stepped down after deciding that, at 86, she would quite like to go back to having holidays instead of filming the series all summer) with – the one! The only! – Nigella Lawson.

The movie Coyote vs. Acme earned more than Warner Bros.' $30 million tax write-off in just two weeks. And last week the movie officially earned more than its production budget of $70 million. But today the movie passed the $100 million mark. "You asked for it, we delivered, and you showed up!" distributor Ketchum Entertainment posted on social media (adding "Thank you to the fans for making this a massive hit!")
With a break-even number of $120 million, the movie "will probably make up any theatrical deficit (should there be any) with its impending releases on video on demand and streaming," writes ScreenRant. Almost three years after the completed film was initially shelved for a $30 million write-off, its
cumulative domestic box office has apparently even beat Warner Bros. dinosaur movie The End of Oak Street:
In addition to officially joining the chart of the Top 30 movies of the year so far at the domestic box office, by surpassing The End of Oak Street, Coyote vs. Acme has outgrossed five of the eight movies that Warner Bros. has put out in domestic theaters this year.... [It's just $17.6 million behind Supergirl, and within $30 million of Mortal Kombat II and Wuthering Heights.] Their anticipated sci-fi sequel Dune: Part Three also seems guaranteed to land higher than 2026's Coyote vs. Acme on the chart (2021's Dune earned $108.9 million in domestic theaters, while Dune: Part Two earned $282.1 million).
With its a small marketing budget of just $10 million, the movie seems to be relying on
oddball marketing stunts like their AMA on Reddit's r/movies. And commemorating the spirit of the movie, Crayon-maker Crayola even released a special "Coyote Secret Plan" web page for children to print and color — and partnered with the film's stars for a video on the importance of creativity:
Lana Condor: Crayola is all about encouraging kids and grown-ups to turn imagination into action.
Will Forte: Which is exactly what Coyote does in Coyote versus Acme. He sees a problem and thinks, "Could this be solved with a rocket, a catapult, or a suspiciously affordable mail order anvil?"
Lana Condor: Usually no.
Will Forte: Usually very no.
